SpinTires

There is another awesome trucking sim in the making, it's called SpinTires. This game is totally different then Euro Truck Simlulator 2, it's all off-road. It's currently on Kickstarter with an amazing demo, which everyone can download! They are only asking £40.000,-. The stretch-goals really add a lot of awesome things like co-op and even competitive multiplayer. To me it looks and plays just great and I really hope they make it.

Seriously, no Spin Tires thread on this forum? How can it be so? This is the game with the coolest physics so far, it is about driving huge cars through astonishingly harsh roads and drowning them in dirt. Consider checking it's modding community http://www.worldofmods.com/spin-tires/ and watching it's official trailer on youtube, I am sure you'll be amazed.
 
Tried it a few months ago, found it to be very frustrating and the cameras can be a real problem. Its ok but nothing special to me.

Try Besiege instead, that's a seriously fun game.
 
I just picked this up on the steam winter sale, can anyone give me some advice on setting up a wheel and pedals?
I have a thrustmaster tx and fanatec csr elite pedals using seperate usb ports.
I can map buttons to the wheel but the pedals dont seem to be picking up when i try to map them.
There is also one mappable shift button instead of an up & down like racing sims?

Bug fixes
  • Conflict between controller and mouse in fullscreen fixed.
  • Multiple mesh/texture issues corrected (new trucks, houses, addons)
  • Minor fixes to some of the truck attributes (suspension, mass properties)
Improvements
  • Behaviour of 4x4 scout vehicles in the mud improved: smaller vehicles are more off-road capable now and more stable in mud
  • Visual improvements to USA maps.
  • Minor improvements to some of the addons (platform with loader is now longer)
  • Some visual improvements: "birch" trees have now brown bark
  • Modifications to new USA maps : additional routes added, and only 1 instead of 2 fuel stations are now available per map, making them more challenging and requiring more strategic thinking.
 
We are pleased to announce that build v10.04.19m is now available to everyone. You may have already downloaded it, but if you haven't, follow these instructions.
